Re: Ko Simpson
He got tooled by Tomlinson on that 51-yard run. Tomlinson is fast, but there is no excuse for a S letting a RB get by him on the sideline. He took a bad angle and was unable to push him out of bounds.
You have to be impressed with Buffalo's ability to play some elite teams (Indy, SD) tough. Granted, they lost both games, but they didn't roll over and die.

Re: Ko Simpson
Ko is ALWAYS a step late getting there, whether it's making a tackle on the RB or making a play on the ball.
I don't think it's lack of athletic ability- I think he just doesn't understand where he's supposed to be.

Re: Ko Simpson
Simpson was very raw coming out of college. Am I right in thinking he'd still be a junior if he chosen to stay and come out in 2007? I think the only issue with letting Vincent go was there was a loss of veteran experience to help his development. However I am sure most teams would be delighted to have a combination like Simpson/Whitner in the future

Re: Ko Simpson
They both played great football, they were just outclassed. Asking anyone to cover Gates one-on-one is a bad decision, regardless of the weather. Gates is the best TE in football, and when you single up on him all day and it only costs you 90 yds and a touch, that's not bad.
As far as Simpson, Tomlinson hadn't taken it to the outside all day, and I think he's probably the fastest guy Simpson has tried to tackle in his pro career. Simpson looked unaware of the angle he needed to take. Safeties in the AFC West, when LT goes to the outside, start sprinting 40 yds downfield to try to have an angle on him. Then they don't try to tackle him, they push him out of bounds.
You guys held the best offense in the NFL to 24 points. Shore up that interior line and the Bills D will be fine.
